Liquid octane CH3CH26CH3 will react with gaseous oxygen O2 to produce gaseous carbon dioxide CO2 and gaseous water H2O. Suppose 3.4 g of octane is mixed with 15.6 g of oxygen. Calculate the maximum mass of carbon dioxide that could be produced by the chemical reaction. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

10 g of CO2

Explanation:

Equation of the reaction:

CH3(CH2)6CH3 + 17O2 > 18H2O + 8CO2

Fom the above balanced equation,

1 mole of Octane gas reacts with 17 moles of oxygen gas to produce 8 moles of CO2

Molar mass of Octane = 114 g/mol

Molar mass of oxygen gas = 32 g/mol

Molar mass of CO2 = 44 g/mol

Therefore, 114 g of Octane reacts completely with 17 * 32g (= 544 g) of oxygen to produce 8 * 44 g(=352g) of CO2.

From the given mass of reactants;

3.4 g of Octane will react with (544 * 3.4)/114 g of oxygen = 16.22g of oxygen.

Therefore oxygen is the limiting reactant.

15.6 g of oxygen will react with (114 * 15.6)/544 g of CO2 = 3.27 g of octane.

Mass of CO2 produced will be

(352 * 15.6)/544 = 10 g of CO2

Depends, If they were blind since they were born they wouldn't know what things like that looked like. But if they had vision at some point of their life they might have developed trypophobia and they could quite possibly create images in their mind that weird them out

I'm kinda dumb though so idk
